All the noise the media is doing around this case is to actually drive a demand for antivirus software for Mac. You don't see any article mentioning installing software from trusted sources (like Mac App Store), digital signing, configuring firewall, keeping software up to date, etc. Their whole point is to compare the Mac platform to the Windows one, so they can conclude that installing antivirus software is the obvious choice.

If not, why complain that it's not mentioned here?
- idspispopd 14y agoThe article is basically an advertorial. It could have provided helpful information and quoted security researchers who don't stand to gain financially. Instead it assembles quotes from vested interests who imply that their product is necessary.
